pon bonds. At the price bid In New York
yesterday for registered bonds, 1882, the
premium on Sl,bOO,0o0 in bonds would bo
$l8l, $50. At the price bid for coupon bonds,
1904, the premium on $l,0O0,000 worth Of
bonds would be sos, $50, which would make
$3.50, eco as the premium which was offered
for 81, 500, 600 bonds In New York-Bl,5OO,-
eco being registered and 81, 100000 coupon
bonds. Secretary Fairchild, In giving
Mcssrs. Fiske, Hatch & Co. $lO0.44 for
that amount of bonds, pays $236,0O0 pre-
MUM, which is $4,000 more than The Wall
spectators would pdyfor them.
Secretary FaircAild yesterday increased
the public debt $23O, 900 by paying s., T3d, 900
for bonds which the United States only
agreed to pay 2,5OO,OO for.
Secretary Fairchlld charges those who
ask their interest In advance a. the rate OF
2 per cent. per annum for the use of the
money, so In making his calculations he
must also charge himself-that Is, the treas
ury Of the United States . per cent. per
annum for the money he pays to the "bond-
holders who cooperate with him" In re-
ducing the surplus in the treasury. IL he
does this the bonds he bought yesterday
cost the people s2,97s, 300, when II he had
not purchased them, but let his friends,
Fiske, Hatch & Co., hold them until due
and paid the interest on them each year,
they would only have cost s., $4,000.
Perhaps the people will ask the President
by what authority he permits his Secretary
Of the Treasury to increase the national
debt and manipulate the stock market ir
Wall street, and he will find 1t a most dilh
cult question to answer.

Postal SerylCe.

The complaints against the management
Of the Postof1ice Department and the postal
service Of the country are continuous and
from every quarter. II these complaints
were confined to Republican papers they
might be charged to partisan anlmos!ty,
hut when such Democratic papers as the
New Orleans 1ines-Dcmocrdt continually
charges, as 1t does, iuetliciency, this cannot
be said. Other Democratic papers in the
south and west besides the Times Democrat
have spoken In the plainest terms of the
failure Of the postal department to do its
duty.
The latest addition to these complaints
on the Democratic eide Of the House is the
Jacksonville Times onion, the leading
Democratic paper Of Florida. Under the
picturesque caption, "a Rotten Service"
that paper says;
There never has been time since the re.
establishment Of the postonice system imme.
lately after the war when the mail service in
Florida was as rotten, disorganized, demora!.
iztd, and untrustworthy as 1t is to-day.
The Times Union charges that innum-
cradle letters and papers are lost in transit,
deliveries are tardy and irregular, and CON-
plants sent to the authorities at Washing
ton are ignored as too trivial for investl'
cation. The Times Union is bold enough
say that "the trouble Is not only that trained
and experienced officials and clerks have
been replaced by inexperienced greenhorns,
but the discipline Of the service seems to
be utterly relaxed"
1t is undoubtedly true that numerous
complaints have been, as the Times. Union
says, 'ignored," and that the service is
badly administered. Our exchanges are
full Of IT., and the complaints come from
every quarter. The south and west, where
the railway service Is not as exact as in the
east and north, do not have monopoly Of
the business Of complaining. Even the
staid and courtly Hartford COurdnt says:
The rostofiice at present Is not serving the
public well. And we do not hesitate to say
that If the express companies lost and delayed
as many packages as the postofiice loses and
delays letters there would be q popular out.
burst of indignation. The situation does not
improve. Mails are more irregular now than
they were six months ago, and more letters are
lost or 20 astray. The service has deteriorated
| just in pre- portion TO the appointment of new
| men to take the place OF those who had expe
rience and skill. The changes have been grad
nal, and the deterioration has been gradua',
| but II has been In steady ratio. We hoped
| at first that the new employees would improve
but the service grows worse, and the conclusion
is forced upon us that the new appointments
are not made for fitness, nut as rewards TOR par
| tisan service.
Postmaster General Villas would do well
| to look after this matter. There is nothing
more likely to injure an inclpient "boom'
than defective and irregular mail service,
The Republicans have taught the people to
expect regularity In the mails almost
equal to the regularity of the day and night
and they will not be satisfied with anything
else. The best "boom" he can give himself
will be to see that the postal service ie
prompt, the officials polite and efficient.

National Republican., 1887-08-18

The accident which occurred yesterday
morning within the city limits, on the Bal.
timore and Ohio railroad, is explained as
being caused by the failure OF the air brake
to work. Any one who will take the trouble
to examine the list Of accidents that have
occurred during the last year will find that
in vast majority OF cases where trains ruu
into each other, or, as in this case, when
the engine runs away with the engineer,
the same reason is given-''the air brake
failed to operate" The Introduction OF
the air brake was followed by a reduction
Of the force on the trains, the entire trust
for stopping being placed on the alr brake.
AS is proven by the frequency OF casee
where the brake refuses to work, this action
is not justified. 1t Is all right and proper
that the air brake should be used and
trusted, but when 1t is known that 1t may
fail, in fsct when experience shows that 1t
often does fail, there should be an alterna-
tive method Of stopping the trains. Rail-
way corporations should not be permitted
to trine with the lives and safety of their
passengers and employees for the paltry sum
of money saved by failure to properly man
their trains, and, In the case OF the Bilti-
more and Ohio, 1t is said that the air brakes
used are not the best, and that these are not
inspected as frequently as they should be.
II defective brakes are used and careless
methods Of inspection permitted there
should be remedy that will reach the
disease, and the quicker It is applied the

pbasizes with terrible force the absolute
necessity for the removal of the tracks OF

II to the commissioners, and we have reason
to believe they will adopt 1t, or very nearly
go. Now, what is wanted is for the citi-
zeDs generally to unite and bring all their

may be finally agreed upon by the commits
